BSAC Sports Diver

BSAC Sports Diver training builds on the scuba skills you learnt in the Ocean Diver course (or equivalent level qualification from any other agency) and helps develop your confidence, skills and experience in the water to allow you to enjoy a wider range of diving sites and conditions. The course builds on a sound foundation of open water diving skills and experience with structured, practical lessons. This is a good way of getting more dives under your belt while learning under the supervision of a qualified instructor.

Qualified BSAC Sports Divers are ready to take part in dives with other Ocean Divers or higher-grade divers. Depth limitations can be expanded progressively to a maximum of 35m/110feet after qualifying (over 3 Depth progression dives – 25m,30m and 35m). To complete the depth progression you need to be over 14 years old. Those under 14 years can qualify to Sports Diver but can dive to a maximum depth of 20m.

The course includes one sheltered water lesson and five open water lessons.

You will love the variety in this course. To ensure you experience a range of conditions, your instructor will include five types of dive from the following for you to experience:

shore dive
